Launching PROJECT 1516

From September 2011 to November 2011

The caption “PROJECT 1516” is taken from the gospel according to St. John, Fifteen chapter and verse sixteen.


“You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, THAT YE SHOULD GO AND BRING FORTH FRUIT , AND THAT YOUR FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you”

The massive influx of souls since the year began has been most humbling. We have never seen it in this version since the inception of this commission.

Here at Faith Tabernacle we have opened about 7000 Home cells this year alone.

Our mission has planted over 2000 new churches in Nigeria alone and over a hundred in foreign nations; this is part of the astronomical growth recorded in a large number of our churches around the world. This is the doing of the Lord and it is marvelous in our eyes. To God be all the Glory!



But I heard the Holy Ghost saying to me, ‘JUST ONE MORE SOUL – JUST ONE MORE …..’



This is the basis for launching Project 1516 – What a blessing particularly as it relates to this season of answered prayers that we are in.

But this time, its not just winning souls to Christ but working on such souls until they are properly established in Christ and in the House of the God.



Therefore, this project is all about :

Just One More Soul

TO WIN
he that wins souls is wise – Prov 11:30, Jhn 15:16
TO NURTURE
…feed my lamb…feed my sheep – Jhn 21:15-17, Act 20:32
TO ESTABLISH
Labouring in prayers, to see that soul stand perfect and complete in the will of God – Col 4:12, Gal 4:19

But what is the value of one soul?

It is worth much more than all the wealth of the world put together (Matt 16:26)

Just one soul saved commands a celebration in heaven (Lk 15:7)
What must I do to win and secure a soul for the Kingdom

Have a target(s) – Lk 14:17-21
Be determined to Harvest your target – 2 Chro 2:1, 3:1, 7:11, 8:16
Pray the Holy Ghost to convict your harvest – Jn 16:9-11 , Act 2:37
Pray the Holy Ghost drive him/her into the house of God – Mrk 1:12
Pray that the eyes of understanding of your target be opened – Eph 1:17-19
Pray that your target be made perfect and complete in all the will of God – Col 4:12
Pray that Christ be formed in your target – Gal 4:19

We expect that within the next 10 week, all of our congregation would have at least doubled in attendance through the implementation of this project. No Winner must be left out.

Receive grace to deliver your portion in Jesus name.

Remember that this project has its return clearly defined

“… that whatsoever you shall ask the father in my name, He may give it to you” – Jn 15:16



Therefore, expect unusual manifestation of grace and glory as you engage fully in the Kingdom advancement project.

Remain ever blessed!
